Topic: Fair Trade

Claim: Fair Trade promotes honest trading conditions, and better, safer lives for the farmers and workers, their families, and their communities all across the world.

Resource 1: Buying Fair Trade: A Local Way to Help Communities Around the World

This resource was useful for my topic and claim, because it tells how fair trade is beneficial for so many people. By "cutting out the middleman" the farmers and producers are growing their communities and the people living in poverty can now have jobs. "Giving back with fair trade means farmers can negotiate prices of their own products." The more that people buy products that are fair trade the more money and help goes to the farmers and their families

    The Sweatshops Nilesh Rohit(300821002) College Communication Professor Catherine Boote July 28,2015 The Sweatshop “I am somehow less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.” ~ Unknown Sweatshops are generally painted as an unhygienic working environment, with lower wages and inappropriate long working hour, which do not follow the necessary safety and health standards. They are in practice since ages in production of goods all over the world. However sweatshop is a choice of a worker, not a forced employment; so nowadays it is considered as iconoclastic alternative to eradicate the long lasting…

    There is a misconception that free trade is fair, but free trade and fair trade are completely different subjects. The goal of free trade agreements like NAFTA is to promote economic growth by removing trade barriers, whereas the goal of fair trade agreements is to prevent the marginalization of weaker producers like farmers and small businesses. Thus, situations like the unsubsidized farmers in Mexico being unable to compete with the subsidized farmers in the United States can emerge as a result of unrestricted trade (Stiglitz & Charlton). Free trade is intrinsically unfair as long as there are discrepancies between the countries involved. Two countries can gain from free trade even when their absolute advantages are disproportionate by exploiting their comparative advantages (Lecture).…
